Reza Farahan Net Worth

What Is Reza Farahan's Net Worth?

Reza Farahan is an Iranian-American real estate agent, television personality, entrepreneur, and radio host who has a net worth of $3 million.

Reza Farahan became nationally known as one of the original stars of Bravo's "Shahs of Sunset," appearing throughout all nine seasons of the series. His sharp humor, long friendship with Mercedes "MJ" Javid, marriage to Adam Neely, and willingness to discuss being gay within the Persian community made him one of the show's defining personalities.

Farahan built his career in Los Angeles real estate, representing buyers and sellers while also purchasing and renovating properties for himself. He later hosted the real estate program "Yours, Mine or Ours" and launched Reza Be Obsessed, a unisex luxury haircare line sold online and through major retailers.

In 2026, Farahan returned to Bravo in "The Valley: Persian Style," which followed him, Adam, MJ, GG, and a new group of Persian-American friends living in the San Fernando Valley. His income comes from television salaries, real estate commissions, property equity, radio work, product sales, appearances, and endorsements.

Early Life

Reza Mehdi Farahan was born on August 5, 1973, in Tehran, Iran. His family moved to the United States when he was a child, and he was raised in Beverly Hills, California.

Farahan's father was Jewish, while his mother was Muslim. His parents divorced, and his father converted to Islam before marrying Farahan's mother. Farahan later discussed how his mixed religious background and sexuality complicated his relationship with parts of the Persian community.

He attended Beverly Hills High School before studying at San Francisco State University.

Real Estate Career

Farahan entered Los Angeles real estate and spent years working at Keller Williams. His business has included residential listings, buyer representation, property renovation, and investment.

He worked closely with longtime friend Mercedes "MJ" Javid, who credited Farahan with helping her learn the business after she received her real estate license.

Farahan has continued working in property outside television. His interest extends beyond sales to architectural design, renovation, landscaping, and creating rental income from homes he owns.

"Shahs of Sunset"

Farahan initially hesitated to join "Shahs of Sunset." He ultimately accepted in part because he wanted young LGBTQ viewers from Middle Eastern backgrounds to see an openly gay Persian man living publicly and building a successful life.

The original cast also included MJ, Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi, Mike Shouhed, Asa Soltan Rahmati, and Sammy Younai.

Farahan's friendship with MJ became one of the program's longest-running storylines. The two alternated between extraordinary closeness and bitter conflict, including a multiyear feud involving MJ's husband, Tommy Feight.

Other Television and Media Work

In 2016, Farahan co-hosted Bravo's "Yours, Mine or Ours" with interior designer Taylor Spellman. The series helped couples decide whether to move into one partner's home, renovate an existing property, or purchase a new residence.

Farahan has also appeared on "The Traitors," "Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!," "Comedy Bang! Bang!," "The Millionaire Matchmaker," "The Wendy Williams Show," and numerous Bravo programs.

He later expanded into radio and podcast work while developing a memoir about his life, family, culture, sexuality, and reality television career.

Reza Be Obsessed

Farahan launched Reza Be Obsessed, a luxury unisex haircare company, in 2018. Its products have included shampoo, conditioner, styling gel, wax, leave-in conditioner, and other treatments.

The company marketed certain products using ingredients such as champagne, gold, and crushed diamonds. Reza Be Obsessed was later featured among Macy's LGBTQ-owned brands and remains available through its own website.

The business gave Farahan a source of income separate from real estate and television while capitalizing on the grooming and personal style that had become part of his public image.

"The Valley: Persian Style"

Farahan returned to Bravo in 2026 in "The Valley: Persian Style." The series reunited him with MJ and GG and followed a new group of Persian-American couples and friends living in the Valley.

The program examined Farahan's marriage, career, friendships, decision not to have children, and transition away from the nightlife-centered lifestyle shown during the early seasons of "Shahs of Sunset."

Personal Life

Farahan began dating Adam Neely in 2011. Neely worked in television post-production on projects including "Glee," "American Horror Story," and "Scream Queens."

The couple married on October 3, 2015, in Palm Springs. Their relationship, engagement, wedding, arguments, and reconciliation efforts were extensively documented on "Shahs of Sunset."

Farahan and Neely have chosen not to have children. Their marriage continued to be featured when they returned to television in "The Valley: Persian Style."

Real Estate

In 2017, Farahan and Neely purchased a roughly 1,600-square-foot home in the Toluca Woods section of North Hollywood. They gutted the 1940s residence and spent approximately $400,000 on an extensive renovation.

The project involved redesigning the floor plan, rebuilding the kitchen and bathrooms, improving the yard, and later adding a swimming pool and spa.

Farahan subsequently acquired another home across the street. He and Adam eventually moved into the less-renovated property while renting out their completed residence, allowing them to turn the first home into an income-producing asset.
